Alejandro Maldonado

Student and teacher of Ashtanga Yoga, Alejandro Maldonado emerged in 2007 as one of the Spanish-speaking world's most visible yoga figures. Having studied and taught in Miami, New York, London, and Katmandú, Maldonado is rapidly becoming an icon in new age media. Though released independently, his debut effort, Yoga, garnered him the attention and support of music/entertainment giant Sony/BMG. With the full force of the multinational heavyweight company behind him, Maldonado released Pausa on the heels of his debut. The DVD features a series of Maldonado's reflections and lessons for leading a tranquil, balanced life. He offers thoughts on a variety of topics including energy, confidence, and the power of words. The CD features the 15 tracks that set the tone for Maldonado's ruminations. The disc features innovative musical ideas and production techniques that set it apart from similar releases. Produced by Adrian Gutiérrez, Pausa is among the more interesting and engaging productions in the new age genre. Its sophistication and understatement strike an excellent balance between relaxing and stimulating. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez, All Music Guide
